since you dont have power door lock or windows...the hood aint going to help much

go get a wire hanger and see if you can pull the lock up with it
you will also need a wood wedge to pry the door open a lil bit

is there anything electric, aka the trunk release you can get to from there?

thee is a fuse label trunk in the fuse, but fuse is pre button, i tried to give the fuse 12v current from the battery stud by the fuse box and it didnt pop the trunk :( so ima try and punch in the third brake light...just need to see if its held on my push tab or by nuts

isnt someone at home that can bring you a spare, or just call a loksmith, be better than breaking a taillight especially if you dont even know if you can get in

You can't just break that light so easily. Has two bolts at the sides holding it up and an inch and a half of plastic behind it

its held in by both....it snaps into place at one side and is held in by long nuts that go straight back and get nuts on them...

find a hanger and gently push it behind the weather stripping. get something to even wedge the door a lil bit its not going to hurt. and get the hanger in there. grab the lock and lift it or grab the keys
